Chapter 37 The Purpose of the Dungeon Master
Chapter 37 The Purpose of the Dungeon Master
North Underground City, a secret chamber located deep underground that no one can discover.
Steam rose, and four pale, fleshy bodies splashed in the hot spring water, playing and frolicking.
"These past few days have been so dreamlike."
Undine sighed.
First, she encountered a hero, then met the succubus leader, won the gold prize a second time, and was finally tricked into becoming a slave by the dungeon lord, and soaked in a hot spring with the succubus leader and a noblewoman.
What kind of low-brow storyteller wrote this plot?
"Could all of this have been orchestrated by the boss?"
To ease the awkward atmosphere in the hot spring, Undine jokingly asked the three people who were piled up together.
To her surprise, Luna nodded slightly and actually admitted, "From the moment Olya started promoting you to the boss, most of it was arranged in advance."
"What? Heroes too?" Undine's eyes widened, and she suddenly reached out to cover a pair of pigeons, quickly closing her legs together.
"Does that mean the boss can monitor and control the entire underground city?"
"Yes."
Luna's single word sent chills down Undine's spine.
Fortunately, she didn't do anything strange in the dungeon, otherwise she would have been so embarrassed chatting with Caesar later.
By the way, is the boss secretly watching them right now?
"I'm not interested in that."
"Wow, boss, don't suddenly talk in someone's head! And you were definitely spying!"
Undine was steaming with embarrassment and anger, but Olya and the other two didn't react at all.
Oria continued to explore the succubus's body with a silly grin, while Lucia sat openly, enjoying Oria's strange massage techniques and relaxing her body. As for Luna, she hadn't changed much; her expression was aloof, and her hands were on her knees, like an obedient child.
Seeing that everyone was like this, Undine thought about Caesar's true nature and also reluctantly relaxed, no longer worrying about these trivial matters.
But as a new employee who had only been there a short time, she had too many questions in her mind, and before long, she couldn't help but ask again.
"By the way, Olya, do you know what our job is?"
"I don't know, we'll just do whatever the boss tells us to do."
Undine's expression froze, thinking: "Could I have joined some unreliable organization...?" She then asked, "So what mission has the boss assigned us?"
"Your basic task right now is to make North Dungeon famous and attract more people to it."
This time, Luna spoke up: "And your most pressing task right now is to form an adventurer team, bring the hero Willis into your team, and make him the third member."
"Hero, neither Olya nor I have any talent. How could you possibly look up to us?"
Undine was puzzled.
Every hundred years, multiple hero teams will appear on the continent. Without exception, the members of the hero teams are either special classes like heroes or legendary creatures like dragons.
Only a team composed of such powerful individuals can overcome all obstacles and, like a sharp blade squad, penetrate deep into the demon realm to hunt down the Demon King.
How can ordinary people like Undine and Olya become teammates with a hero?
"You guys really don't have much talent."
Luna nodded: "Leveling up is slow, the class is weak, and the bonus from leveling up isn't great..."
She counted on her fingers, feeling a little more discouraged with each undine she ate.
"but"
Luna changed the subject: "Behind you is the entire North Dungeon. You don't need to worry about whether you can keep up with the hero. It's him who needs to try to reach your backs."
"You still don't know what kind of existence our boss really is, and your mindset hasn't changed."
"Let's not talk about the future, let's talk about the present. In the dungeon, which hero team in the world can hurt you in the slightest? Once you go to the surface, your boss will equip you with a full set of gear covered in golden enchanted souls. Even if an entire hero team fights against you, it's hard to say who will live or die."
Undine understood.
"I understand. A mere hero is nothing special."
She gained confidence and asked excitedly, "So how do we get Willis to join us?"
"That's easy. I'll give you the plan after you've soaked in the hot springs. Just follow it."
After a period of peace in the hot springs, Undine couldn't help but speak again.
"Hey, do you guys even know what the boss's goal is?"
"have no idea."
The three answered in unison.
Undine was itching to ask; her strong curiosity was one of the main reasons she became an adventurer. After failing to get any answers from her inquiries, she decided to ask Caesar directly.
Anyway, the boss is definitely spying on them too. Whether you ask him or not, he already knows what they did.
"Boss, what's the point of opening a dungeon?"
Caesar was stumped by the question.
He floated on the sofa, propped his chin up, and began to ponder.
Why? The primary reason is survival. Once the North Dungeon's vitality dries up, Caesar will perish along with the dungeon.
But if that were the only goal, Caesar wouldn't need to spend all his time and energy thinking about how to create new levels, improve the gacha system, and control the heroes.
He can lie there for thousands of years, relying on enchanted souls and the succubus industry, and the life force in the North Dungeon will only increase.
He could also spend his days having fun with the succubi, or playing pranks on adventurers, and watching one live show after another from his secluded room.
Caesar estimated that he would live this kind of life for a very long time before getting tired of it.
Once you get tired of him, he can create something new, expand the dungeon, and keep you entertained for a long time.
But Caesar has no interest in these matters at the moment.
It's not that he had lofty ambitions, but rather that Caesar had a slight fear of accidents.
The source of his fear was the bus that killed him.
Caesar feared that one day an alternate version of good fortune would strike, instantly annihilating him and the dungeon along with him, and all that he had worked so hard for would vanish into thin air.
Therefore, Caesar was eager to become stronger, to climb to the pinnacle of superhuman power, and to rise above the gods.
And coincidentally, he has a cheat code that makes him qualified to achieve all of this.
Caesar thought for a moment and replied to Undine.
"I want to live, and incidentally, try to become a god-king."
